How To Stay Young
Who wants to age in today’s world? How many times you have looked at those beautiful celebrities in magazines and envied that these people never age? Aging is the natural process our bodies go through, as we get older. However, there are some complex biological functions that accelerate aging such as glaciation and over-oxidation of cells. This acceleration in the aging process is caused by excessive sugar, stress, and toxicity. However, as you may have noticed, there are some people who are 40 but look 60 and others who are 60 but look 20 years younger. Here I am going to share with you how to naturally slow aging by following an anti-aging diet, improving your lifestyle and taking anti-aging supplements.
Top Foods for Anti Aging Diet:
We all want to age slower. There are certain nutrients you must be getting in your diet on a daily basis including antioxidants, healthy fats, minerals, vitamins and nutrients.
Anti-oxidant Rich Teas – Green tea, white tea, oolong tea, rooibos tea, and black tea contain antioxidants called polyphenols that protect your cells from free radical damage.
Wild-caught fish – Provide anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats to slow the aging process. Wild Alaskan Salmon contains unrivaled levels of Vitamin D and astaxanthin. Both vitamin and astaxanthin are powerful antioxidants that help fight the signs of aging.
Green leafy vegetables – Kale, swiss chard, beet greens and spinach provide important nutrients to support bone health, eye health, and even prevent cancer. Spirulina (a sea vegetable) provides high levels of anti-oxidants including polythenols. This super anti-oxidant is a powerhouse weapon against pre-mature aging.
Berries – Are full of powerful antioxidants known as anthocyanins which help maintain muscle and may prevent cancer.
Herbs – Turmeric and garlic contain anti-oxidants and cleansing nutrients that can slow the aging process.
Foods that Cause Faster Aging
Refined sugar – Promotes a process called glycation. Glycation damages cells and causes wrinkles. It’s the top food that speeds aging in most people.
Grains – Pro-inflammatory if not sprouted and lead to glycation, which will speed up the aging process.
Trans fats and hydrogenated oils – These processed fats promote inflammation which may lead to premature aging, heart disease, and certain types of cancer.
Alcohol – Although an occasional glass of red wine may be beneficial for health as it has an important anti-oxidant known as resveratrol, the overall consumption of alcohol is pro-inflammatory and speeds up the aging process.
Artificial sugar or other artificial ingredients – These contain a large number of chemicals which can speed up the aging process.
Top 5 Anti-Aging Supplements
#1 Omega-3 fats (Fish Oil 1000 mg daily)
The omega-3 fats EPA and DHA in fish oil are powerful anti-inflammatory agents and may reduce age-related cellular damage.
#2 Green superfood powder (1 scoop daily)
Contains foods high in antioxidant compounds like chlorella, grass juices, wild berries, and herbs that slow aging.
#3 Resveratrol (250-500 mg daily)
Found in the skin of red grapes resveratrol has been shown to reduce cellular damage and slow aging.
#4 Adaptogen Herbs Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Holy Basil, Ginseng (500-1000 mg daily)
These herbs lower cortisol levels and reduce the damaging effects stress can have on the body.
#5 Co-enzyme Q10 (150 mg 2x daily)
Acts as a powerful antioxidant by supporting heart function and is also required for the energy production of cells critical for preventing premature aging.
Lifestyle recommendations
Sleep – A good night’s sleep is one of the best things you can do to prevent aging and is one of the most overlooked health habits. Aim to get at least 8 hours of sleep daily in a dark, cool room.
Exercise – Staying active keeps you young by lubricating your joints, supporting detoxification, improving lean muscle mass, and building your cardiovascular health.
Essential Oils for Anti-Aging
Essential oils like frankincense, lavender, myrrh and sandalwood are the most anti-aging remedies on the planet. They are high in antioxidants and contain compounds that naturally balance hormones and reduce cellular damage.
Taking frankincense internally 2 drops daily in water can slow the aging process as well as using this homemade natural anti-aging serum before bed
Health-style Tips To Keep You Young
Be happy The physical damage caused to your body by stress has only recently become appreciated by the scientific community. Fill your life with things you love and get rid of almost everything else. Practice stress relieving activities like meditation and exercise, and learn to appreciate joy when you find it. Happiness does a body good.
Eat vegetables There is good evidence that oxidative damage caused by toxins and metabolism contributes to the aging process at a cellular level. Foods (but not supplements) high in antioxidants seem to protect us from oxidative stress.
Avoid sugar Sugar is a direct cause of aging and significantly reduces lifespan in organisms from yeast to primates. Not by a small amount either.Moisturize The appearance of your skin is largely dependent upon moisture. Help it out by using moisturizers to keep your skin soft and hydrated. Work with a professional to determine what type is best for you.
Don’t raise your eyebrows Credit my mother for teaching me this one, it has been a lifesaver. As a kid she used to warn me about raising my eyebrows, saying it would give me wrinkles and I’d regret it. I thought she was crazy, but still learned to express myself without much forehead crinkling. As a result I have far fewer forehead lines than some people years younger than me.
Sleep For me the most important determinant of how I look (and feel) on a given day is how much sleep I get. Seven hours is my ideal, but everyone is different.
Eat fish Some evidence suggests that the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are particularly beneficial to the skin.
Wear sunscreen I love the sun and spend as much time in it as possible, but I never walk out the door without sunscreen on my face. UV radiation from the sun damages your skin and promotes aging.
Don’t smoke Smoking is one of the easiest ways to look older than you really are and shorten your life at the same time. Avoid both primary and secondary smoke like the plague.
Step out of your comfort zone Mental exercise seems to be one of the key elements of quality aging, but this doesn’t mean you should sit around all day doing crossword puzzles. Neuroscientist and cognitive aging specialist Dr. Adam Gazzaley suggests going out of your way to challenge yourself mentally, doing things like traveling and learning new languages even over the age of 60.
Take vitamin D Some research suggests that vitamin D may be particularly important in slowing the aging process. The jury is still out on the value of vitamin D supplements for aging, but they seem to have enough other benefits that it’s worth the investment.
Eat fruit Like vegetables, fruits have an enormous amount of antioxidants and help with hydration. Vitamin C in particular is thought to benefit skin.
No foundation or powder makeup Generally I avoid putting any makeup directly onto my skin. I realize I have a very flexible work environment and this is not possible for every woman, but skipping the makeup does help maintain your skin’s hydration and elasticity. I do wear makeup occasionally, maybe once or twice per week. But in general I find that mascara and lip gloss are enough for most situations.
Hydrate Your skin is very sensitive to water levels. Stay hydrated by sipping water and eating fruits and vegetables throughout the day.
Whiten teeth I know this isn’t something you can find at the farmers market, but when you drink as much coffee and red wine as I do, minor (and admittedly superficial) fixes like teeth whitening can go a long way. If you don’t believe me, try and remember the last time you saw a 20-year-old with yellow teeth….
Wear sunglasses If you’re a happy person (and I know you are), your wrinkles will most likely be caused by smiling and show up predominantly around your eyes. Block out extra sun (and look super cool) by always wearing sunglasses when you go outside.
Eat beans and lentils Legumes are a fabulous source of minerals that can help keep your skin hydrated and looking young.
Tea Afternoon tea time is one of the greatest discoveries I’ve ever made. Not only is tea full of antioxidants and other cancer-fighting compounds, a midday break can be just what the doctor ordered to sip away stress.Cardio I’m not the biggest believer in cardio exercise for weight loss, but it is still important for vascular health. Not to mention how awesome you feel after a good session. Cardio doesn’t need to kill you, but you should do it regularly.
Strength training Building strong, toned muscles is one of the most effective ways to look younger than your years. Ask anyone who looks fabulous and they’ll swear by strength training. A little goes a long way.
Eat intact whole grains Intact grains (not fake “whole” grains that are ground into flour) are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and soluble fiber. They are also perfect fuel for those killer workouts.
Avoid processed meats Processed meats are associated with many different health problems in humans. No need to get too hung up on this, but you may not want to eat deli meat every single day if you want to stay young.

No processed carbohydrates Just like sugar, processed carbohydrates are a direct cause of aging and disease. I eat these things occasionally, but don’t let it happen too often.
Coconut oil Fats come in all different shapes and sizes, and I try to incorporate a good mix of all of them. Medium-chain fatty acids like those found in coconut oil are starting to be recognized as important by researchers, but the evidence is limited. Coconut oil is also a healthy source of saturated fat for vegetarians. I always use coconut oil when cooking Southeast Asian food.
Red wine Red wine has a powerful anti-aging compound in it known as resveratrol. Though it is unlikely that the dosage of resveratrol in red wine is high enough to impact lifespan, drinking alcohol in moderation is also associated with decreased risk of heart disease and other vascular problems.
